Gases and Pressure SECTION 11.1

Transcription

1 SECTION 11.1 Gases and In the chapter States of Matter, you read about the kineticmolecular theory of matter. You were also introduced to how this theory explains some of the properties of ideal gases. In this chapter, you will study the predictions of kineticmolecular theory for gases in more detail. This includes the relationship among the temperature, pressure, volume, and amount of gas in a sample. Key Terms pressure newton barometer millimeters of mercury atmosphere of pressure pascal partial pressure Dalton s law of partial pressures Collisions of air molecules generate pressure. You may be familiar with the concept of tire pressure. When you pump more air into a tire, the number of molecules of air inside the tire increases. This causes an increase in the number of collisions between air molecules and the sides of the tire. An increase in pressure is the result of the increase in collisions. depends on force and area. is the force per unit area on a surface. The SI unit for force is the newton, N. The pressure exerted by a particular force is given by this equation. pressure = force area READING CHECK 1. Compute the pressure exerted by the dancer for photos (b) and (c) below. Force = 500 N Force = 500 N Force = 500 N a. Area of contact = 325 c m 2 = area force = 500 N 325 c m 2 = 1.5 N/c m 2 b. Area of contact = 13 c m 2 = area force = = c. Area of contact = 6.5 c m 2 = area force = = The pressure a dancer exerts against the floor depends on the area of contact. The smaller the area, the greater the pressure. Gases 341

2 One way to think of force is to consider it the result of a mass times an acceleration. A newton is the force that will increase the speed of a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second each second that the force is applied. Consider the ballet dancer on the previous page. Earth exerts a gravitational force on all objects on its surface that accelerates them toward Earth at 9.8 m/ s 2. The ballet dancer has a mass of 51 kg. Therefore, the force that Earth exerts on her is given by the following equation. 51 kg 9.8 m/ s 2 = 500 N As a result of gravity, the dancer is pulled against the floor with a force of 500 N. The pressure that the dancer exerts on the floor depends on the surface area of the dancer touching the floor. If the dancer is standing on one toe, she exerts more pressure on that part of the floor than if she is standing on two flat feet. The same force applied to a smaller area results in greater pressure. Atmospheric The atmosphere, which is the air that surrounds Earth, exerts pressure on Earth s surface. This pressure is equivalent to a 1.03 kg mass sitting on every square centimeter of Earth. The resulting pressure is 10.1 N/c m 2. This quantity is also called 1 atmosphere, or 1 atm. Atmospheric pressure is the result of all of the different gases in the air striking Earth s surface. The atmosphere contains 78% nitrogen gas, 21% oxygen gas, and 1% other gases by volume. Atmospheric pressure decreases higher up in the atmosphere. This is because there are fewer air particles farther away from Earth s surface. When you fly in an airplane, the decrease in pressure outside your ears relative to the pressure inside your ears makes your ears pop. Oxygen molecule, O 2 Force 1 atm of pressure is the force of 10.1 N on 1 cm 2 Nitrogen molecule, N 2 READING CHECK 2. What element is responsible for most of the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the surface of Earth? Air molecules, mostly nitrogen and oxygen, collide with Earth s surface, exerting a pressure of 10.1 N/c m CHAPTER 11

3 Measuring A barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. The first type of barometer was introduced by Evangelista Torricelli in the early 1600s. Torricelli wondered why water pumps could only raise water to a height of 34 ft. He hypothesized that the height of the water depends on the weight of the water compared with the weight of air. He predicted that mercury, which is 14 times as dense as water, would only rise 1/14 as high as water. To find out if he was right, Torricelli held a tube upside down over a dish of liquid mercury. The top of the tube was a vacuum, so only the weight of the liquid mercury pressed down on the mercury in the dish. This column of fluid was prevented from falling because air pushed down on the liquid in the dish, preventing it from rising due to fluid leaving the tube. Torricelli found that the pressure of the air was equivalent to the pressure of about a 760 mm column of mercury. And 760 mm was about 1/14 the height of 34 feet (10.4 m). The atmospheric pressure at any place on Earth depends on elevation and weather conditions. If the pressure rises, then the column of mercury in Torricelli s barometer becomes taller. If the pressure drops, then the column becomes shorter. So, air pressure can be measured by the height of a column of mercury in a barometer. A manometer uses a similar method to measure the pressure of a specific gas sample. The gas is enclosed but is able to exert pressure on a column of mercury in a U-shaped tube. The difference in height of the mercury columns in the two arms of the U is a measure of the pressure exerted by the gas. Critical Thinking 3. Apply Suppose the air is completely removed from inside an empty plastic water bottle. What happens to the water bottle? Explain your answer. Vacuum exerted by the column of mercury Atmospheric pressure Oxygen gas molecules exert a force Nitrogen Oxygen molecule, N 2 molecule, O mm Surface of mercury This barometer measures the pressure exerted by the gas in the atmosphere in millimeters of mercury. Atmospheric pressure can support the weight of a column of mercury that is about 760 mm high. Vacuum of oxygen gas in mm Hg Oxygen molecules Mercury This manometer is measuring the pressure in a sample of oxygen gas. The pressure is indicated by the difference in height of the mercury in the two arms of the U-shaped tube. Gases 343

4 Units of There are several units for measuring pressure. The usefulness of the mercury barometer has led to the use of the height of a column of mercury as a measure of pressure. The common unit of pressure is millimeters of mercury, or mm Hg. A pressure of 1 mm Hg is also called 1 torr in honor of Torricelli s invention of the barometer. Another unit of pressure is the atmosphere. One atmosphere of pressure, atm, is the equivalent of 760 mm Hg. The average atmospheric pressure at sea level at 0 C is 1 atm. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal. A pascal is a derived unit named after the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal. One pascal, Pa, is equal to the pressure exerted by a force of 1 N acting on an area of 1 m 2. In many situations, it is more convenient to use the unit kilopascal, kpa. For example, one atmosphere of pressure, 1 atm, is equal to kpa. The units of pressure used in this book are summarized in the table. Standard Temperature and When comparing the volumes of two different gases, the temperature and pressure at which the volumes were measured must be specified. For purposes of comparison, scientists have agreed on standard conditions for comparing gases. The term standard temperature and pressure refers to a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0 C. These conditions are also referred to as STP.! Remember A derived unit is a unit that is a combination of two or more base units in the SI system. The pascal is a derived unit equal to one kilogram per meter per second squared. READING CHECK 4. What does each letter in the acronym STP stand for?

5 The total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the pressures of the gases in it. The pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture is called the partial pressure of that gas. John Dalton, the English chemist who proposed the atomic theory, also studied gas mixtures. He proposed that the pressure exerted by each gas in an unreactive mixture is independent of the pressures exerted by the other gases in the mixture. In other words, if a sample of oxygen gas exerts a pressure of 0.28 atm when it is isolated, then the molecules of that sample will exert a partial pressure of 0.28 atm when mixed with one or more gases. Dalton s law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases. Dalton s law may be expressed as an equation LOOKING CLOSER 5. Define each of these terms separately in your own words. partial: pressure: P T = P 1 + P 2 + P where P T is the total pressure of the mixture, P 1 is the partial pressure of the first gas, P 2 is the partial pressure of the second gas, and so on. The kinetic-molecular theory of matter can explain Dalton s law. Each particle in a mixture of gases has an equal chance of colliding with the walls of a container. Therefore, each collection of gas molecules exerts a pressure independent of that exerted by the other gases. The total pressure is the result of the total number of collisions on a unit of wall area in a given time. PRACTICE A. Convert a pressure of 1.75 atm to kpa and mm Hg. B. What is the partial pressure of O 2 in a mixture of C O 2, N 2, and O 2 at 1 atm if P C O 2 = torr and P N 2 = torr? Gases 345

6 Water vapor, molecule, H 2 O Hydrogen is collected by water displacement during a reaction of zinc with sulfuric acid Hydrogen gas molecule, H 2 Gases Collected by Water Displacement Often it is difficult to determine the amount of gas given off by a chemical reaction. The low density of the gas makes it hard to measure the mass that a gas adds to a container. Scientists have developed a method of collecting gases by water displacement to address this problem. In this method, a collection bottle is partially filled with water and placed upside down over a reservoir of water. The gas released by a reaction passes into the collection bottle through a tube. When the gas enters the bottle, it displaces water from the bottle. The pressure of the gas forces the water down toward the reservoir. After the gas is collected, the collection bottle does not contain a pure sample of the gas from the chemical reaction. The gas in the bottle is a mixture of the gas from the reaction and water vapor that is in a state of equilibrium with the water in the bottle. During the collection, the water level adjusts so that the total pressure on the water surface inside the water bottle equals the atmospheric pressure, P atm. Therefore, the partial pressures of the two gases, the gas from the reaction and water vapor, must satisfy this equation: P atm = P gas + P H 2 O The value of P atm can be read from a barometer in the laboratory. The value of P H 2 O can be found in the table on the next page, using the recorded temperature of the experiment. The value of P gas can be determined using these two values. READING CHECK 6. What law states that the sum of the partial pressures of two gases in a mixture is the total pressure of the mixture? 346 CHAPTER 11

7 Water-Vapor Temperature ( C) (mm Hg) (kpa) Temperature ( C) (mm Hg) (kpa) For example, suppose oxygen gas is collected by water displacement from a decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate, KCl O 3. If the temperature during the experiment is 20.0 C, then the partial pressure of water vapor atmospheric pressure is 17.5 torr. If the atmospheric pressure during the experiment is torr, then the partial pressure of the oxygen gas can be determined as follows. P O 2 = P atm P H 2 O = torr 17.5 torr = torr PRACTICE C. Some hydrogen gas is collected over water at 20.0 C. The levels of water inside and outside the gas-collection bottle are the same. The partial pressure of the hydrogen is torr. What is the barometric pressure at the time the gas is collected? P atm = + P H 2 O = torr + torr = torr Gases 347
